Remains to be seen.
My suspicion, however, is that you’re probably more likely to see shady boosters get involved with trying to convince players to come back for an additional year rather than trying to offer recruiting inducements. With a returning player, you’re getting a known quantity and a better return.
And I also don’t view borderline kids withdrawing from the draft due to NIL money to be a bad thing. I fully support NIL deals for athletes based on principle, but if that also means maybe getting another year of guys like Benny Snell, then all the better.
Seems some NFL agents suspect NIL deals may do just that for the guys who are projected late rounders.
